60 SECOND INTERVIEW
WHAT DOES KIT & CO DO?
In a nutshell, we provide our clients with stunning refurbished, extended and new homes. For us, each is a one-off and considered project that we build with pride.
ARE YOU DIFFERENT FROM OTHER CONTRACTORS?
We like to think so. Our difference is perhaps most easily summarised in three points:
We offer a full and joined-up range of services to our clients. We 'hold your hand' right from design and process advice at the start through to the completion of beautiful refurbishments and extensions, sensitive restorations, landscaping, future-proofing and the creation of stunning contemporary new homes too.
Our team of craftsmen has worked together for many years and they are dedicated to what they do. They are a well-oiled machine which has 4 important principles at its heart - these are honesty, reliability, quality and value.
Lastly, we provide a project management service as an integral part of the build. This not only removes stress and uncertainty from the project but it also helps save our clients time and money.
WHY IS THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT ELEMENT IMPORTANT?
Transforming a home can be a milestone in one's life and should be enjoyable too. However, an unmanaged project can be a budget-blowing and hugely stressful eye-opener. This is why we follow a three stage project management process - before, during and after the work. Click here to see the things we do to guide you through and keep everything running smoothly.
DO YOU WORK WITH ARCHITECTS?
Yes, very much so. We are sensitive and alive to the demands of design and getting things 'just right'. In fact some of our best projects are with architects where we develop a close working relationship to bring yours and their vision to life.
IS EVERY PROJECT THE SAME?
No, every family lives differently so every project is different too. In addition there is a new drive for environmental sustainability and the use of technology. Whilst a house might look old on the outside, inside it needs to work for the 21st Century and beyond. So future-proofing a project is very much a part of what we do.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE TYPE OF WORK?
For me building is about opportunities and outcomes. Old buildings present the opportunity to breathe new life into great architecture, securing it for the future. On the other hand, new buildings can present the opportunity to work with cutting edge design and materials, with a very low carbon footprint. Both are exciting.
WHERE DO YOU WORK?
As a team we are based in London and the surrounding counties. However, larger projects can take us across the UK and at times even further afield.
WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE?
Living in a house that really works for you is life-changing. It’s truly wonderful to be part of that.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO GET IN TOUCH?
The earlier the better, but it’s never too late to get in touch. I would be delighted to discuss your plans and see how we can help.
